Who: Izzy Watterson and Carly Gaither Where: Cafeteria Rating: Mild, possible language
The only thing Carly knew about teenagers was that she'd been one herself once.
Being more or less married to her job since she'd gotten into journalism after college, she had put marriage and children way on the backburner of her life plan. Most of her friends were married, either with babies on the way or with small children, but she'd had other goals. And now there was her book, and that was a long-term project.
But she wanted to get to know Izzy. The thing with Cameron seemed to be turning into a relationship, and Carly didn't feel right about not trying to understand her daughter. Not that she was planning to run out and look at china patterns and wedding dresses, but the girl seemed like she might need a friend.
